Matthew Keas

#### High level background

_JavaScript and mobile-related work, with a focus on fluid / performant code._

I teach, speak, and author books for a living; but I also really enjoy building *crazy fluid* interfaces and fast user experiences that *just work*. I bring great design to my clients by sketching, wireframing, and live-coding in the browser - no Photoshop - meaning my code is clean, succinct, fast, and built with user experience in-mind. Moreover, I follow proven design and development processes that revolve around Agile project management. These methods have been adapted for design work and modular, forward-thinking JavaScript that keeps performance in-mind.

My technical experience draws from a plethora of server-side languages, high-performance computing, cryptography and network security, graphics APIs and physics simulations, real-time apps, single page app frameworks for the web, and numerous MEAP frameworks (Xamarin, Appcelerator, Kony Studio).

I also teach and provide public speaking:

1. At the HoustonJS meetup: http://houstonjs.com
